Learning English through music and songs! (Ringo)

 Lyrics

They lie in boothills all through the West

The outlaws, the gunslingers

The Billy the Kids, and worse

Say a fella like the coward

That shot Bill Hickock in the back

There's always one like that in every time of history


Most of them were varmints

But every once in a while in one of them

There may have lived

A man


He lay ____ down in the desert sand

Clutching his six-___ in his hand

Shot from behind, I thought he was dead

But under his ____ was an ounce of lead

But a _____ still burned so I used my knife

And late that _____ I saved the life of Ringo


I nursed him 'til the _____ passed

The _____ went by, he mended fast

And then from dawn 'til setting sun

He ______ with that deadly gun

And hour on hour I watched in awe

No ______ being could match the draw of Ringo


One day we rode the mountain ____

And I went _____, and he went West

I took to ____ and wore a _____

While he spread terror near and far

With lead and blood he gained such _____

All through the West they feared the ____ of Ringo


I knew ______ I'd face the ____

Which one of us would be the best

And sure enough the word came down

That he was holed up in the _____

I left the posse out in the street

And I went in _____ to meet Ringo


They said my _____ was next to none

But my ______ draw had just begun

When I heard a blast that stung my _____

The gun went flying from my _____

And I was _____ down the bore

Of the deadly 44 of Ringo


They say that was the only time

That anyone had seen him _____

He slowly lowered his gun and then

He said to me "We're even, friend"

And so at last I ________

That there was still a spark of good in Ringo


I blocked the path of his retreat

He _____ and stepped into the street

A dozen guns spit fire and lead

A moment later, he lay ____

The town began to shout and cheer

Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo


The story spread throughout the land

That I had ____ Ringo's hand

And it was just the years, they say

That made me put my _____ away

But on his _____ they can't explain

The tarnished star above the name of Ringo
